Manage Tags

Tags are used for easy identification and grouping of the resources. Cerebrata allows us to create, delete and update the tags at ease.
The below illustration shows managing the tags of Cosmos DB SQL API.

Manage Locks

Management locks can be created so that the users access the resources cannot update or delete the resources without your concern. Cerebrata helps us in managing the management locks in a comfortable manner.
The below illustration shows managing the locks of Cosmos DB SQL API.

Manage Access Keys

Access Keys are used to connect to the required Cosmos DB account without the use of Azure AD. Cerebrata allows us to view the connection string, access keys and regenerate them based on the requirements.

The below illustration shows managing the Access Keys of Cosmos DB SQL API.

Edit Azure Cosmos DB Account Connection

For Cosmos DB accounts associated via the connection string, the user can edit the Cosmos DB account key. This feature helps us to update the account key when the account key is regenerated. User can also edit any friendly name given by clicking on the Edit button (or Crtl+E).

The below illustration shows editing the Cosmos DB Account Connection.

Database

Create

Databases can be created by providing the database name and Throughput. The database can be created either with fixed, auto scale or no throughput.
The below illustration shows creation of a database in Cosmos DB SQL API Account.

Update

The throughput of the created database can be modified.
The below illustration shows editing the throughput of a database in Cosmos DB SQL API Account.

Delete

Databases can also be deleted through Cerebrata itself.

Container

Create

Containers can be created inside the databases with the following properties.

• Container Name
• Partition Key
• Throughput
• TTL
• Indexing Policy
• Unique Key Policy
  The below illustration shows creation of a container in database.
  

Update

All the properties like Throughput, Indexing Policy, Unique Key Policy and TTL can be updated.
The below illustration shows editing a container in database.

Delete

The container can also be deleted through Cerebrata itself.

Stored Procedures

Stored procedures can be created, updated and deleted through Cerebrata itself.
The below illustration shows managing the stored procedures through Cerebrata.

Functions

Functions can be created, updated and deleted through Cerebrata itself.
The below illustration shows managing the functions through Cerebrata.

Triggers

Triggers can be created, updated and deleted through Cerebrata itself.
The below illustration shows managing the triggers through Cerebrata.

View Documents

Cerebrata allows us to visualize the documents in container both in the data grid and as raw JSON. Viewing the documents as Data Grid allows us to easily read the document properties. It is also possible to query the required documents in a container based on the provided query.

The below illustration shows viewing the documents as Data Grid and Raw JSON.

Manage Queries

Cerebrata allows us to save the queries that can be executed in a container. It is also possible to edit and delete them whenever required. We can mark a query a default, so that whenever a container is opened default query will be opened in the query window. Queries can also be marked as shared so that they are available across all the containers.
The below illustration shows managing the Queries of Cosmos DB SQL API.

Create Documents

Cerebrata allows us to create or insert document into a container. The document can be added as JSON.

Update Documents

It is also possible to update the document using Cerebrata. The document can be either merged or replaced when it is updated.
When the document is merged, all the new properties will be added, and the value of the existing properties will be updated.
When the document is replaced, the entire document will be replaced with the provided document.
The below illustration show updating a CosmosDB SQL API document.

Delete Document

Cerebrata allows us to delete the documents in bulk. All the documents or documents filtered based on the query can be deleted using Cerebrata.
The below illustration shows deleting the CosmosDB SQL API documents.

Download Documents

Documents can be downloaded as a JSON file or CSV file for auditing purposes using Cerebrata. The documents can either be selected manually or through query. It is also possible to download all the documents in the container. We can include the system properties like eTag, Timestamp etc in the downloaded file if required.
The below illustration shows downloading the CosmosDB SQL API documents.

Copy Documents

In some cases, it may be necessary to copy the documents from one container to another. Cerebrata allows us to copy documents across containers. It is also possible to copy the Storage Table entities as SQL API documents to SQL API container. Either all the documents or documents filtered by the provided query can be selected for copying. We can configure either to skip or overwrite the existing records while copying.
It is possible to stop the copy process when a conflict is found by enabling the Treat Conflict Exception as error option.
The below illustration shows copying the CosmosDB SQL API documents from one container to another.

Document Analytics

When documents are inserted into container, a partition key is provided for the quick access of related data. It is not possible to store a large amount of data within the same logical partition. Cerebrata provides a capability to visualize the total number of documents and the total size of the documents in a container. This can be viewed by selecting the Document analytics option from the context menu of the container.
